a ft er arr i v ed. After thanking them for their generous sup port, Pepin protested his innocence, adding, that if he was to die, he would not want courage. He expressed a wish to have time to settle with his partners, to write to his friends, and to form a plan for the education and the establishment of his children. The counsel had scarcely left him when Pepin re ceived a visit from his unfortunate wife and his four children. ' We need not mention how dreadful this meeting was. It ap pears that Madame Pepin, after this interview, went to the Tuileries, with her four children, to implore an audience from the king ; but his Majesty delegated the painful task of re ceiving her to General Bernard, one of his aides-de-camp, who treated her with the most delicate consideration, but was not authorized to afford her the slightest hope.

The whole of the correspondence carried on between the Committees has been seized, and with that, not only the plans, but lists of all the members of these societies. The journals of their proceedings were always drawn up in German, French, Italian, and Polish, at the same time. It seems that the conjecture or knowledge of this discovery has for some time past excited apprehension and mis trust among the societies, as appears from several examples. Among them is the flight of the former Polish General Clo picki, from Cracow to the capital of the Austrian Empire, where be seeks (certainly not in vain) repose and safety ; his life having, it is said, been in great danger, bemuse, by re peatedly refusing to join the societies, he had caused himself to be suspected of being a traitor. If we hear it conjectured that Lepiny (the German fugitive murdered at Zurich) fell a victim to this notion, we cannot be surprised at it. BRUSSELS, FEB. 16.—The Chamber of Representatives con tinues the important discussion on the several articles of the commercial law (or municipal organization), many of which were warmly contested by the opposition, and several amend ments proposed. The Chamber has got as far as Art. 47. The young Prince of Saxe Coburg Ferdinand of Portugal, and Augustus, are still here, and visit all the public establish ments—the theatres, &c. On Thursday there is to be a grand review of the troops of the garrison, besides five regi-' ments of infantry, a squadron of each regiment of cavalry, and three batteries of artillery. The carnival has been very gay. The ball at Court last night was very brilliant. The ladies were dressed in the cos tume of different ages and nations. The Queen wore the cos tume of Elizabeth, daughter of Henry IV., and consort of Philip King of Spain. SILESIA, FEB. B.—Whether the fresh accounts of the dis turbances at Cracow were incorrect, as the Cracow Gazette affirms, I cannot say, as I had it from a third person; but at all events the three protecting Powers seem to consider the affair in a very serious light, and to have adopted measures to prevent a repetition of such excesses, and especially to require that the attempts to assassinate several of the people shall be severely punished. This is the main point, for whether the excesses occurred on the Emperor's name-day ( St. Nicholas day), whether they were greater or less, is not of so much im portance as the circumstance that the three Powers are said to have adopted measures, which would be very disagreeable to the little Republic, if it does not afford all the guarantees which may be required from a well regulated state, which 'enjoys the protection of the three great continental powers. The Senate seems to feel this; it is going to send away all those persons who may endanger the tran quillity of the city. First the ringleaders are to be sent awal, those suspected of attempts at assassination to be tried by the criminal tribunals. All strangers who cannot prove that they have means of subsistence, or that they are kept on the ter ritory of the Republic by indispensable business, are to be im mediately sent over the frontier. Hence it may be inferred that it -vas not merely a single individual that ventured to disturb the public tranquillity. VIENNA, FEB. 9.-5 per Cent.

THE increased and increasing demand for this va luable spirit has, very naturally, had the effect of stimulat ing pretenders to force into public notice articles which can only be tolerated where the PATENT .IRANDY is unknown. The sub terfuges to which recourse is constantly had for that purpose are, however, too contemptible for more serious notice. J: T. BETTS and Co., need not dwell upon the high charac ter of the PATENT BRANDY. It is established beyond the power of envy . to disparage, or attemi ted competition to-shake, its merits. Its value and purity have obtained for it the support and recommendation of the - first medical men of the day, in preference to any other Spirit, British or Foreign, for its salutary properties. It. is, in fact, the only attested pure Spirit known ; the Reports made upon productions which others have. submitted to chemical test, having invariably been such as they have not dared to make public. The frauds that have been constantly practised by the imposition upon the public of inferior articles, compel J. T. BETTS and Co. to draw attention in a particular manner to their Address, their " only establishment" being the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-Bars, leading to St. John-street, where their Brandy may be obtained, of the highest legal strength, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, in quantities not less than Two Gallons, sent to any part of the Town, free of expense, for Cash on delivery. , * A liberal Discount to the Trade. DUBLIN-THURSDAY. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) " Caput inter nubila conclit."—Vi lac. Curiosity is on the alert to discover the originator of a ru mour which prevailed in this city yesterday, and for some hours created a more painful suspense and anxiety than any event that has actually occurred for some years past. It was reported that a hostile meeting had taken place between Lord Stanley and Mr. Sheil, which proved instantaneously fatal to the latter distinguished individual. The news pervaded the reading rooms, Chambers of Commerce, and four Courts like electricity; and no one could tell whence it came, or the source of the melancholy information. The Second Edition of The Sun, and the other London newspapers, were earnestly inquired for, and conned over with more than ordinary atten tion for a paragraph throwing some light on the subject. Nothing being discovered, however, to confirm the probability of such an improbable story, and the managers of an Even ing Tory Journal, said to have received the intelligence by express, having promptly disclaimed all knowledge of the mat ter, general apprehension and gloom changed into cheerful and humorous discussions, on the facility with which even a Putlander may be made the dupe of a malignant fabrication. Nor would the affair be deserving of furtncr notice, were it not that it affords a strong proof of the great value and impor tance attached to the life and talents of Mr. Sheil by every class of his countrymen. Indeed, the very circumstance of the invention of this false news shows the effect on a certain party here, of his triumphant exhibition of the mistake com mitted by his talented adversary, in the line of politics which he has ,latterly adopted. All the hopes which the Tories founded on the position of Lord Stanley in the House of Com mons are nearly vanished; and hence we can imagine how some wretch, whose " wish was parent to the thought," con templated, as a last timber to cling to, the possibility of a late debate on the " Carlow" business having led to the fatal con sequences just alluded to. It is any thing but consolatory to the feelings of such a speculator to learn, that every Irishman, who harboured for a moment an idea of the possibility of Lord Stanley and Mr Sheil having carried their opposition beyond the verbal warfare of St. Stephen's, regarded the supposed catastrophe as a national calamity. Whatever differences of opinion exist among us on other topics, we are unanimous in appreciating transcendant talents and an independent spirit. In the mean time the cause of Reform is daily gaining ground. Earl Mulgrave's Government proceeding as it com menced, in the same uniform course of Whig principles, and impartiality towards all classes of his Majesty's subjects not tainted with Orange or other factious influences, is every week making converts. Five-sixths of the entire nation have sig nified, by public addresses to his Excellency since his arrival, their confidence in the Ministry that sent him here, and their ex pectation of benefits to be conferred on the whole community - during his Lordship's viceroyalty. And though there be still an .outstanding minority, who, like the clanships of former days, re fuse allegiance to the representative of our good King, I can assure you this minority is becoming less; and were it not for the " Raphael affair," and other occurrences from which they think the Liberal party may sustain some injury this Session, numerous adhesions would have been this winter announced to the cause of Reform in Ireland. As the matter stands, it is amusing to hear some of the rankest Tories, and habitual place-hunters in the legal profession, affecting neutrality in politic., in the hope, no doubt, that when the present great struggle between contending principles shall have ceased, men of moderate politics will be deemed the fittest objects of patronage in Ireland. A much greater portion of the wealth and intel ligence of the Protestant gentry are following this sapient example of the lawyers, during the last six months, than is vet publicly known. I have not conversed lately with any candid man, Catholic or Protestant, Liberal or Conservative, that has not declared this to be the result . of his observations. The public cannot fail to have observed that, in the list of English newspapers permitted to circulate in the Russian dominions, the Court Journal held a prominent place ; but lest any erroneous conclusion should be drawn from this circum stance, we are requested to mention, that that Journal dis owns all intention of being a party paper. The political oc currences of the day, of course, form a due proportion of its columns, but without the least degree of asperity on either side. The object of the Court Journal is not political—it is rather intended as a light and entertaining miscellany, touch ing on the state of manners and society, on the amusements of the Fashionable World, the Fine Arts, Literature, &c.—. sometimes in a satirical vein, but always free from, harshness or illib er ality ; its papers, grave and g a y , b y some of the first writers of the day ' • its object, in short is " to p resent to so suety, a J ourna l that may tend not only to elevate t aste and re fine manner s , b ut keep its readers in good temper with the world, and with each other, by finding out a sunny pathway even in the dullest season." The increase of seamen, .) 6 ' - 00 over that last year, will enable the Government l to peanat least o six t line of-battle ships and three or four gene rally believed that eight sail of the line frigates. It is nwill shortly assemble at Spithead, and enliven the war anchorage. —Hampshire Te l LONDON, SATURDAY EVENT.NG, F::ERUARY 20, 1836. We cannot congratulate either the Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs, or the country, on the refusal of the Government to submit to Parliament the whole of the documents moved for by Lord DUDLEY STUART in the House of Commons last night. The speech of the Noble Secretary was only exceeded in vacuity by that of the Right Irion. the President of the Board of Trade. The conduct of the Government on this oc casion has caused us equal mortification and disap pointment. We had hoped that after having been made the dupe of Russia in 1831, and with the recol lection of his then assurances of preserving the peace of Europe and the nationality of Poland, the Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs would not have ventured to talk of preserving the general peace by means of British diplomacy. But here we were disappointed. For what, in point of fact, was the Noble Secretary's answer to the unrivalled speech of Lord DUDLEY STUART ? Why, simply this—" The Government will see that the foreign policy of 'Jlreat Britain be worthy of her. Leave the whole matter to me. It is evi dent from the thinness of these benches that the country approves of what has been already done." Surely this was a mode of getting rid of one of the most important European questions that could possibly be submitted to Parliament, quite unworthy of an enlightened Re presentative Government. The portion of Lord DUDLEY STUART'S motion which was rejected by the Government was by far the most important. The motion, as proposed by the Noble Lord, ran thus : Ist. The treaty cf Constantinople, of 9th July, 1833, called Treaty of Unkiar-Skelessi. 2d. Treaty of St. Petersburgh, of 29th January, 1834. 3d. Any Correspondence between this Government and the Governments of Russia and Turkey, relative to those treaties. 4th. Any correspondence with the Government of Russia relating to the remonstrances made by England against the conduct pursued by Russia towards Poland. The part of the motion printed in italics was opposed by Lord PALMERSTON, because the publica tion of the correspondence called for would give rise to bad feeling on both sides, with out the possibility of doing any good what ever. " With respect to the correspondence," ob served his Lordship, " between this country, Russia, and Turkey, relative to those treaties, he would entreat the House not *.o call for their production. He was prepared to say that they could not be produced with out great neonvenien.::r! to the pub'ic service, besides which, if produced, they would accomplish nothing for his Noble Friends motion. F:am circu ms t ances which he could rot explain without defeating his own purpose, they could not be produced without inconvenience; and when he stated so much, he hoped the House would be satisfied with that statement, and not press for their production." This language must have sounded oddly on the ears of the House. For our part we cannot for the life of us comprehend the slightest occasion for all this mystery. The only question to be asked is—Are the negotiations on these treaties yet pending ? If they be, what prevented the Noble Lord from saying so much ? If, on the contrary, diplomacy has con cluded its labours with respect to them, why refuse the people of England a knowledge of the results ? With England at his back the Minister can have nothing to fear. The Noble Lord's arguments, in favour of with holding the publication of the official correspondence between Great Britain and Russia, on the subject of Polish nationality, are still less defensible :—" With re gard to the correspondence with Russia upon the sub ject of Poland, it was to be remembered," continued his Lordship, " that the occurrences referred to took place three years ago, and the Government at that time stated that there were reasons which rendered it not expedient to produce the correspondence. The papers were then moved for, for the purpose of urging the Government to protest against the change which Russia had made in the Constitution of Poland, which Constitution had in fact been abo lished. He had upon that occasion stated that the British Government had remonstrated against that change, and he had expressed his opinion that the course pursued by Russia was not consistent with the treaty of Vienna. He would then repeat that opinion, and as far as that went, his Noble Friend had all the advantage of the declaration ; but still he thought that no good could arise from publishing to the world, after a lapse of three years, the correspondence which took place, when nothing had happened to call for its pro duction. If the country should go to war, then it would be necessary to prOduce everything to show that their cause was good and just ; but if they wished that the country should keep at peace, they ought not to° call for the production of a correspondence, the publi cation of which must necessarily create irritation on both sides, and lead to no good whatever." The substance of all this may be given in a very few words. When these documents were moved for before, the Noble Lord was hatching some state pro ject—they were called for too early, and now they. are prayed for too late. Does not the Noble Lord perceive the drift of the lesson which he here teaches the country ? In the fall of Poland, we recogni ze t h e fruit of his former secret diplomacy. Are we to await a similar result in the case of Turkey ? The Noble Lord talks of " irritation on both sides." Why should the people of England feel irritated if, as his Lordship assures us, the Govern:n:•nt has done its duty i n a way creditable to the nation ? In 1831, Parliament, in compliance with his Lordship's desire to that elfe::t, allowed him to cope in secret with the Cabinet of St. Petersburg. He now acknowledges that the result was disgraceful ; and yet there was not a Member in the House who supported Lord DUDLEY STUART'S motion, with sufficient readiness, to cite his former failure, as a reason why the House should not again trust to secret negociations. As we have not been able to touch the pith of the question in Lord DUDLEY STUART'S motion, we shall retur❑ to the subject on Monday. We are pat ti cularly anxious to notice the observations made. by Lord PALMERSTON, and the President of the Board of Trade, with respect to the German Commercia League. Our peace-preserving statesmen labour under strange delusions on the most important questions of foreign policy. The second reading of Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S Com pensation Bill is fixed for Monday next. Having lately, and at some length, expressed our opinion of the justice of Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S claims, it is only necessary at present that we should remind Non. Members of what the country expects from them. Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S claim to compensation, for the losses and wrongs inflicted on him by the servants of the East India Company, has been acknowledged by the unanimous decision of a Select Committee -ap pointed by the House to enquire into the sub ject. This Committee consisted of men of ail parties, for we find in it the names of Lord ALTHonP, Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET, Sir ROBERT PEEL, Mr. CHARLES GRANT (now Lord GLENELG), Pre sident of the Board of Control, Loid ASHLEY, Mr. HumE, Mr. W. WYNN, &c. En conformity with the decision of the Committee a Bill was - introduced into Parliament last session, and passed the second reading Without opposition ; but was witndravvn on account of an informality, by which it had been made a public in stead of a private Bill. _ Parliament has therefore already sanctioned the principle of the Bill in question, and we can hardly conceive it possible that any serious opposition will be made to it on Monday night. The East India Com pany, we are aware, intend to petition against it, and Sir JOHN I - loutiousE is to present the the petition ; but we cannot believe it possible that the Right Hon. Baronet is anything more than the mere passive channel through which the petition passes from the Company to the House. But be that as it may, it is the duty of every Hon. Member who is a friend to the liberty of the Press, in the cause of which Mr. BUCKINGHAM was sacrificed, to support the Bill, which is intended to do him what after all will be but tardy justice. For a long time past, it is well known, the Tea Trade have been striving to get rid of the inquisitorial system of permits and surveys attached to the Excise Laws. It must therefore be gratifying to those inte rested, to learn that these efforts have been crowned with success—an order having lately been issued from head -quarters, to abolish this useless and cumbersome piece of machinery. In carrying this order, however, into effect, a certain tardiness has been discovered in some quarters, from which much difficulty has been experienced. A deputation of the dealers therefore sought, and this morning obtained, an interview with some of the principal Officers of Excise, who, afier consulting with the Commissioners, assured them thL, from this day, the Excise Establishment all ove r the country would be directed to make no more seizures whatever in the article of Tea, and that the dealers would no longer be exposed to the unnecessary trouble and vexation of either drawing for, or receiving, any more permits in their sales and purchases, or of keep ing account of their stock for the Inspection of other parties. But it is understood that the Excise are still to have the power of some surveillance, for the pur pose of detecting spurious Tea, an examination to which no honest dealer can entertain any objection. This, however, be it recollected, has reference to qua lity, and not to quantity. The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday, which we were prevented from receiving sooner, owing to the stormy state of the weather, together with tlle ' journals of Thursday . , have all been received. The Court of Peers sat till 11 o'clock on Monday night to pass sentence on FIESCH I and his accomplices. A report of the sentence, and its communication to the accused, will be found 'in another part of The S un . FIESCH I, MoREY, and PEPIN, have been condemned to death—the first to be executed as a parricide. BOIREAU has been sentenced to 20 years' imprison ment and hard labour ; and BESCHER, against whom no charge was substantiated, ordered to be liberated forthwith. By Monday we expect to learn the parti cullers of the execution, which was expected to take place on Saturday morning at the latest. The Cabinet has been re-constructed, although the official announcement has not yet appeared in the Moniteur. The following list of the new Ministry is published as correct by the Journal des Debats of Wednesday _ _ M. TRIERS, President of the Council and Minister of Fo reign Affairs. Count D'AacouT, Minister of Finance. Marshal MAIsoN, Minister of War. Count Ds MONTALIVET, Minister of the Interior. The Duke DE MoN rEBELLo, Minister of Public Instruction. M. SAUZET, Minister of Justice and Keeper of the Seals. M. PASSY, Minister of Commerce and Public Works. Admiral kOSAMEL, Minister of Marine. The Journal de Paris denies the correctness of this list, without, however, pointing out any particular error in it. The new Ministry is decidedly Doctrin naire, though only three members of the late Cabinet are included in it—MM. THIERS, MAISON, and D ' ARGODT. The retirement of MM. de BROG LIE and PERSIL is a most fortunate event. The late Minister for Foreign Affairs is a man of great information, and personally commands universal re spect ; but as a Minister he was the mere mouth piece of the KING. As to M. PERSIL, he was con temned by every body, with the exception of the Mem bers of the Royal family, whom he flattered by his obsequious acquiescence. His successor, M. SA ZET, is as obstinate as a mule—full of prejudices—and never easy but when he is treading upon the heels of those above him. A Minister less capable of holding the Portefeuile of the Department of Justice could not have been selected. We regret M. GulzoT's retirement from the Department of Public Instruction. With the single exception of Lord BROUGHAM, there is not a man in Europe better qualified to preside over the public instruction of any country. Of his successor, the Duke DE MONTEBELLO, we know but little, save that he is a liberal and well-intentioned man. MoN TALIVET succeeded CASIMIR PERIER as Minister of the Interior in 1832 ; but he quitted office too sud denly to enable us to - form a decided opinion as to his qualifications. We can hardly account for the retire ment of ADMIRAL DUPERRE. In the late Cabinet his voice was hardly ever raised, and few troubled themselves about what he thought on any question not immediately connected with his department. The appointment with which we are most pleased is that of M. THIERS to the office of Foreign Affairs. THIERS is well acquainted with the foreign relations of France, and is strongly opposed to the system of Russian aggression, tacitly submitted to by his prede cessor in the Department of Foreign Affairs. By accounts from Bayonne, we learn that. St. Sc-. bastian was besieged by the Carlists on the 10th inst. The garrison, which is in the greatest want of rein forcements, endeavoured by a sortie to prevent the be siegers from approaching the city, but the enemy drove them back with some loss. The British legion is in active at Vittoria, and suffering much from cold and sickness. Great blame is attributed to General Con- DOVA, who is reported to be so jealous of General EVANS as to take every opportunity to thwart the movement of the troops under his command. • PRICES OF SHARES THIS D!! - Y A ONE O'CLOCK.

PARIS, FEB. 18.—The Journal de Paris published yester day the following note, which the Moniteur of this morning does not repeat : " The news given this morning by the Journal des Debats of the formation of a new Ministry is inaccurate. The Journal des Debats has been misinformed. To this the Journal des Debats answers, Time will soon show which has been best informed, the Journal de Paris or the Journal des Debats.' " The ikt oniteur du Commerce, which gave the same list as the Debuts, rectified the statement as follows : • " It was said this evening that the arrangements which yes terday seemed to be final had been delayed, because M. Thiers would not take the post of President of the Council. It was affirmed that M. de Talleyrand, wishing to see this arrangement succeed, had consented to bo President of the Council without a porte-feztille." TOULON, FEB. 13.-" Since the orders given yesterday to put our ships of the line on the war establishment, the tele graph has been constantly at work. Extraordinary activity is observed in the arsenal and the road. It seems that we have a naval war at our doors. Vessels ready to put to sea can not be insured at all, or only on very high terms ; the prices of freight have risen Our intercourse with Africa is not les sened by this state of things ; the things going to that coun try are more numerous than ever, and do not ensure. " We have had a dreadful high wind for these 24 hours. " We expect Rear-Admiral Leblanc to succeed Admiral Martinez as Major-General of the Marine."

There were two Special Jury cases on the list for trial, both of which were arranged (after the Jury had been impan nelled), for the purpose of submitting cases for the considera tion of the full Court. In the Common Jury case, " The King v. Sutton," the evidence was tendered, and the Jury having returned a verdict of Acquittal, the Court rose at twelve o'clock. BRIGHTON-FRIDAY: Their Majesties took their departure from the Palace at half-past eleven. The Landgravine, accompanied by the Baroness de Stein, took their departure a few minutes after. The Princess Augusta left at ten. Prince George, accompanied by his Preceptor, did not leave till half-past one. Lord and Lady de Lisle, the Earl and Countess of Mayo, Prince Ernest, Lord Elphinstone, Sir Charles Thornton, Mr. Davis, Sir Herbert and Lady Taylor, and the Honourable Colonel Cavendish followed their Majesties. COURT CIRCULAR. The King and Queen, the Landgravine of Hesse Homberg, attended by Madlle. Stein, Prince George of Cambridge, and Prince Ernest of Hesse Philippsthal, attended by Lord El phinstone, arrived in town at half-past four o'clock yest er d ay a fternoon, from the Pavilion at Brighton. The Landgravine proceeded to the residence of the Duke of Cumberland, in St. James's Palace, and Prince George of Cambridge to Cam bridge-house. Count Pozzo di Borgo, the Russian Ambassador, vi s it e d Viscount Palmerston yesterday, at the Foreign-office. The Commander of the Forces, the Right Hon. Frankland Lewis, and Mr. Warburton, had interviews yesterday with Viscount Melbourne, in Downing-street. Lord Brougham has, within a day or two, written to his friends that his health has recently experienced great amendment. His Lordship writes in excellent spirits; but he does not even hint at any immediate intention of returning to London. The Earl of Dundonald, who devotes all his time to scientific inventions, left Hanover Lodge on Wednesday for Paris. PARLIAMENTARY. SUMMARY. In the LORDS' yesterday, the Marquis of Londonderry's motion for the correspondence that had taken place between our Government and that of Madrid, relative to the liberation of the twenty-seven Carlist Officers imprisoned, and still re maining, in the Castle of Corunna, was agreed to. A Select Committee, on the proposed alteration in the mode of engros sing Acts of Parliament, was appointed. In the Comm°Ns', Mr. Horsman, the new Member for Cockermouth, took the oaths and his seat. Petitions were presented for Railways from London to Brighton, from Lon don to Cambridge, and from Edinburgh to Leith, and referred to the Committee on standing orders. Petitions were pre sented from several places, on the subject of Mr. Buckingham's claims. Mr. Hume presented a petition for the repeal of the stamp duties on newspapers. He stated unstamped papers to be still on the increase. Mr. Buckingham gave notice of his intention to move for a Select Committee to inquire into the causes of the increase of shipwrecks in the merchant service. The Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that a communi cation had been made to Lord Melbourne from Lord Viscount Sidmouth, resigning his pension of 3,0001. per annum. After a short conversation, the Turnpike Roads Consolidation Bill was read a second time, and referred to a Select Committee. Lord Dudley Stuart, in a speech characterized by ability, moved, that an Address be presented to the Crown for the treaty of Constantinople of the Bth of July, 1833, called the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi, the treaty of St. Petersburgh, of the 29th of January, 1834, the correspondence between this Government and the Governments of Russia and Turkey relative tOthoge treaties, and the correspondence with the Go vernment of Russia, relating to the remonstrances made by England against the conduct pursued by Russia towards Po land. The discussion (our report of which will be seen in another place), was highly interesting. Lord Palmerston's speech was specific in its anticipations with regard to Russia, which nation, Dr. Bowfin.- said, was less formidable than had been supposed. Pa r t o f' the papers called for, the Noble Foreign Secretary was willing to produce ; but others he con sidered it desirable for the public service to withhold. Eventually, that part of the motion relative to the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi was agreed to, with the consent of the Noble Mover to the limitation. On the motion of Mr. Hume a Select Committee was appointed to inquire into the amount of all fees and emoluments, &c., received in public offices. After the re-appointment of the Committee which sat last Session on Bribery and Intimidation at Elections, some Bills were forwarded a stage, and, at half-past twelve, the House adjourned. IRELAND. HIGH SHERIFFS.—The Mail, poor devil, has a doleful Jeremiad on the conduct of Government for passing over the Judges Lists, and appointing fourteen High Sheriffs that do not appear in the return. The fourteen rejected are Orange men, and, therefore, they ought not to appear. Our county statistics have been of some service after all. With regard to the County of Longford, vacant by the death of Mr. Jessop, we understand that Mr. O'Ferrall, the brother of the Member for Kildare, was nominated. This gentleman, on account of the pressure of personal business, has been obliged to decline the honour. It has been conferred, in con sequence, on Sir Percy Nugent, the late High Sheriff for Westmeath—a more active, energetic, or liberal officer his Majesty has not in Ireland. —Dublin Post. COUNTY TIPPERARY ADDRESS.—The highly respectable Deputation presented the County Tipperary Address on Thursday last to his Excellency. The reply of his Excellency contains a most gratilying ad vertance to the improved condition of the County, as regards the diminution of crime, exhibited by the latest return. SIIARP PRACTICE.—The Commission of Rebellion, though a powerful engine for subduing the refractory tithe recusants, requires to be used with more caution than the clergy seem disposed at present to exercise in its application. In a case tried in the Exchequer on the 14th (the Rev. J. Lewis v. Brennan), the process of discharging this terrific machine was so unguarded, that it recoiled on the assailants, by which-the attorney in the cause lost his costs. Mr. Pennefather was employed for the plaintiff, but though his brother, the Baron, was on the Bench, the proceedings were declared vexations, and irregular, and were stayed. On Mr. Coates (plaintiff's so licitor) observing to the Court—But, my Lords, shall I not have my costs for the present motion ? Chief Baron—Cer tainly not.—( A laugh.) TWELVE PERSONS DROWNED.—On Sunday last, a sail beat conveying passengers from Limerick, with marketting, &c. to Killydysart, was upset in a squall, and went down, when of 15 persons on board only three were saved. REGISTRY.—The Liberals are supine ; by the latest intelligence they were in a minority. A new Liberal Club is being formed. It will comprise a vast body of members, and embrace a considerable portion of the aristocracy. The Reform society bas enrolled several Irish membei's in its managing committee, in order to draw closer the two associations. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are three French mails, two Os tend, and one Hamburg. A Dutch mail is still due. We have ship letters from Berbice. By the Express from Paris this morning, it would appear that Don Carlos has left Onate, to reside at Mendragon, where the Infant Don Sebastian will follow him. It is stated that the Cure Merino has died in the village of d'Arquetia, near Estella. ," Accounts from the Havannah of the 10th of December state, that the military in that island are determined to support the cause of Liberty in Spain, for which purpose they have sub scribed patriotic donations to the amount of fifty thousand piastres. The Island of Cuba has also given from four to five hundred thousand piastres. The same letter adds, that the Government will adopt for the service of the State a million of piastres, which remain unemployed in the Bank of S t . Ferdinand. Accounts from Toulon state that since the orders given for the ships there to be put on the war establishment, the tele graph is constantly at work in the Arsenal and in the roads. There is an extraordinary movement since the 12th inst. It is mentioned that the violent gale has blown down the " Tree of Liberty" which was planted in July 1830. The Journal du Commerce of Antwerp, of the 18th inst., gives the Dutch prices of the 16th inst. T wo - and-a-Half per Cents., 55; ; Five per Cents., 103 k ; Ardoin's Loan. 49.

We have seen letters from Vittoria, of the 11th inst., the contents of which entirely disagree with the correspondence inserted in a Morning Journal. The British Legion is repre sented is a good state of discipline, and although some sickness prevailed among their ranks, it was owing to the very severe weather ; but on no account to the state of nudity and hunger in which they were represented to have been. The greatest harmony and good understanding prevailed between Generals Cordova and Evans ; and the impassable state of the roads is the only cause that prevents the commencement of active operations. We have also seen letters from Madrid of the 11th instant, by which it would appear that the Government had received from the. Hivannah 70,0001. ; which sum was to be forwarded immediately to the General-in-Chief of the Army, for the expenses of the operations.

The Duchess of Kent will entertain a large party at dinner to-day, at Kensington Palace. The Speaker and the Hon. Mrs. Abercromby will give a grand dinner to-day in Carlton gardens. The contemplated marriage between Lord Poltimore and Miss Buller, daughter of Lieutenant-General Buller, will not, it is understood, take place until the advance of the spring. The Earl and Countess Grosvenor and family have arrived at Vienna from Stutgardt. His Lordship having com pleted the tour of Germany is now on his route to England. NEW CLUB.—The managers of the new Reform Club are in treaty for the house in St. James's-square, built by the late Duke of Leeds, and which was occupied 30 years ago by the Union Club. The number of the new association amounted yesterday to about one thousand; the first 65 mem bers among the founders have subscribed 250/. each, as a capi tal to set the Club going, and are to be exempted from all future subscriptions. Great care has been taken in the selec tion of members, and the association is expected to be one of the most important political Clubs at the west end of the town. In the course of a fortnight it is expected to be as numerous as the Carlton Club in Pall. mall. The Lord Chancellor of Ireland is about to intro duce two Bills to effect essential Reforms in the Court over which he presides. By one of them it is intended to abolish altogether the office of the Six Clerks, and by the second to do away with the twenty-five Dublin, and the five Cork, Com missioners of Bankrupts. THE FIRE AT SPITALFIELDS CHURCH.— Workmen were engaged during the whole of yesterday in clearing the ruins. The interior of the spire presented a most desolate appearance, the several floors havin g been entirely demolished from th e upper place in which the bells were sus pended, down to the immensely-substantial stone archway immediately over the vestry-room. On this archway were lying the hands of the clock and fragments of the bells, the whole of wLirth 'one of them weighing about two tons and a quarter) had bt.n dashed to pieces by the fall. There appears no doubt that the mischief ori.inated 'in the carelessness of two lads, to whom the steeple-keiper had intrusted the duties he had to perform about the belfry, but the precise way in which the fire was communicated has not been ascertained, as the boys, who had been waiting arid lurking for several hours about the vestry and belfry, deny that they had been at all in the clock-room ; where the fire was first observed, THE LATE VIOLENT GALES. We have received intelligence of much damage on varieils parts of the coast. Hull on Tu‘sday and Wednesday was visited by very heavy gales from N. W. The tide on Wed nesday evening iwas the highest known since 1815. Veil great damage was received by the:formers on the Holderness coast, large districts of which are overflown to a depth of ov . o or three feet. One agriculturist, at Kilnses, estimates loss at upwards of 1,0001., he having 300 acres inundated. The majority of occupi e r s i n th a t ne i g hb our h oo d contemplat e giving up their farms, in consequence of the serious irlu. r i ,/ they have sustained. The c oun t r y, f or m il es , i s covere d wit' water. The shore is strewed with wreck, and the keel of sloop has been found in a field, a mile from the boundary o f thl sea. At Spurn, during the high tide to which we have at luded, the water was three feet deep in the cottages, and a bo a might swim over any part of the island The low light 1 05 at one time, in considerable danger; a square of glass 05 broken, but has been ordered to be replaced, and the light will be resumed. Of course much Wisbech was on Wednesday inundated. __— damage and injury have been sustained. DOVER, FEB. 17.—We have this day been visited by °lied the highest tides experienced for many years. The pier-bead ; and quays have been completely over fl owe d, th e stone -head buried under the water, and boats floating under the Custom House quay—the lower apartments of the houses in this s itua' tion were also filled by the swelling tide to the depth o f som e feet. Fears are entertained that—should the wind not abate —the next tide will cause additional, if not serious, inconve nience. At Scarborough eleven persons were drowned on Wedr.e 9 day. At Yarmouth the tide was ter r ifi c , an d th e ' d es truction of property very considerable. M an y o f th e b rea k wa ters ' 2 front of those hollows were completely de s tr o y e d, some ° f which extended three or four yards to the east of the buildings and erected very strong for the defence of them. Sever`` bundatioas were laid open to the f ur y o f th e tid e , and toe front of the Holkham Tavern fell. The tavern, with tw° other houses, are almost entirely destroyed. Two others are left in a very doubtful state as to their standing—their foun dations being washed away and und erm i ne d t o t h e di s tance ° f six or eight feet. Many persons who are in the habit of vis t. ting this beach in the summer, would :scarcely believe it to b e the same—bestrewed with large portions of walls, &c., Pre senting a sad spectacle of devastation. The damage is st i r posed to amount to near two thousand pounds, and it is four teen or sixteen years since Yarmouth was visited by such tide. We have not heard of any particular damage to t! shipping, except one vessel being dismasted in the roads Yes - and hope the accounts will be more favourable tlO l anticipated. A new brig and a wherry were both lost. At Cley the inundation from the high tide has been dread ful. At Cromer a heavy gale came on from the north, causing a tremendous tide, which injured the jetty, an d en ti re ly oc e l c . away Mr. Simons' subscription-rooms, &c., taking d o wn "',„; Tucker's cliff-house, and did great damage t o th e w h o le of t':, property next the cliff on the east side of the jetty. Two ale; fell with Mr. Simons' house, in endeavouring. to preserve some of the furniture ; one of the men was with diffic u lty s aved, other was swept away, leaving a wife and three small ch i , dren. Mr. Simons is a sufferer to the amount of upsraru . of 1,0001. ARRIVAL OF THE JANE AND VIEWFORTIL ( From the Hull Advertiser.) d Thursday evening, this town was again the scene of su den and unexp ec t e d j oy . Shortly before five o'clock, are, port was spread that th e J ane was i n t h e Hum b er, and by"„- dreds hastened to witness her arrival. The Jane got beset on the 30th September, in lat. 6 8, company with the Middleton of Aberdeen, and the Vieufer', of Kirkaldy, and c o nti nue d b eset unt il the 31st January, wiled' she got clear of the ice in lat. 58.

The ode we have, and some record °t „ o vt music remains, but that the true effect of the latter can " ru g understood is wholly a matter of doubt. The solo and last night were both of simpld style and not inexpressive, rese telt bling early church composition. The accompaniment of th e bu t flutes, the harps and cymbals, was singular and striking ;, i , a t present 66 'Y 00 , the whole effect, however curious, could not be much like l a i a which wrapped the Greeks in enthusiasm. N o R o man sl o e followed the Greek ; but, after a long interregnum,!i e w lic brought to the simple and noble sacred chorus of the Ut oc e Church in the days of Ambrose and of Gregory.

PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 1 6.—Several additiona l 13 ' bourers and artificers have been entered for duty at the ' 1°1 :: yard, and much bustle has been occasioned, owing to the s e '," ral line-of-battle ships ordered to be brought forward for e ° mission.
